Unable to locate package python-pip

Two Methods:

1) You can install through Ubuntu Software Center.

Open Ubuntu Software Center and search for

easy_install

Highlight alternative Python package installer (python-pip) from the list and click Install



You can check weather the installation was successful or not by giving the command

which pip

you will see the path of installed application, for example

/usr/local/bin/pip

2)

Open terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+T and type the following:

cd
~

to navigate to your home directory.

Then issue the below command:

wget -P Downloads/ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/oodt/tools/oodtsite.publisher/trunk/distribute_setup.py
Next step is to run the downloaded script. To do this, issue this command:

sudo python Downloads/distribute_setup.py

and type your user password when prompted (Please, note that your account needs to be a member of Administrators group in order to issue

sudo

).

Hit

Enter

and
let the script run.

To ensure easy_install is installed, issue the command below:

which
easy_install

The typical response in case the installation completed successfully would look something like this:

/usr/local/bin/easy_install

The next thing to do is use easy_install to install pip. For that you’ll need to issue:

sudo
easy_install pip

Enter your password if prompted to confirm command.

Let the installer run and once the installation is completed type:

which
pip

This command should typically respond with something like this:

/usr/local/bin/pip
